For a long time, since years and years ago, I have wanted to read light novels. Not every book gets its own anime series and even for those that did, the anime usually could cover only the first few volumes and rarely all the way to the end. Thus, if one is a fan of a series that was originally a light novel series, one would have to read the light novels to know the story beyond the anime. Although this applies to manga as well, manga is a lot easier (and more fun) to read than light novels. So, for the month of May, I received one package, a single set of loots. Without any additional babble, let’s go straight to seeing what the loots are.

This month, I had loots coming from various sources: purchases made in stores, bonuses from movie theaters, online orders, and also gifts from friends. Most of the items this month were unplanned purchases that I just happened to stumble upon by chance, and given the opportunity of crossing paths with me, I had to buy them.

In what seems like forever ago, I received packages in the mail for orders I had made online. Since I have came to Japan, most of my purchases were done at stores in person. However, this month I made some pre-orders in order to secure the unique store bonuses. So here are two packages that arrived, in addition to some other purchases made in person during this month.

In this second month of the year 2017, everything I purchased was for Sword Art Online. Its movie, Ordinal Scale released in theaters on the 18th, and that was the start of all this. Through the release of the movie, I found out about the existence of 前売券 and the various bonuses it can come with from various stores. Although I was too late for the 前売券 bonuses through official means, I hunted them down from online auctions. Plus, I had known about the items that will be for sale at the gift shop corner of theaters ahead of time, but the theater I went to had other additional goodies for fans to collect. On top of that, this month also had the SAO Cyber Security event where I gathered even more loots. All in all, this month became SAO saturated.

To speak of December and loots is to speak of Christmas itself. I have wrote in detail about how spent my Christmas this year here in this post. In summary, I bought myself a couple things, and received the PS Vita game Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization as a present from my little brother. Outside of the Christmas gifts, I had a couple other minor things as a part of my loots. Let’s take a look.

Compared to the first month, the amount of loots for this second month in Japan is quite tame. For myself, I had purchased four boxes of gunpla, while everything else were free goodies I received through campaigns, events, or friends. In particular, a booster box of Cardfight Vanguard G Set #8 was split between me and my friend, Xyrenth. Perhaps “split” not the right word, as more accurately, she bought a booster box and presented me the cards she doesn’t want. Anyways, let’s go onto the details of the loots.

At long last, I am in Japan once again. This time, I will not be a temporary visitor here to shop and sight-see. For that reason, I am surprised at the amount of loots I ended up with. It is nowhere near the amount I purchased on my previous visits to Japan, but it is quite more than my recent loots this year. Besides getting lured by the crane game for the ご注文はうさぎですか towel, in my mind, all I did this month was buying a couple model kits and a few manga. Putting it that way, it doesn’t sound like a lot.

For the month of September, this package you see here is the last purchase I make… until my journey in Japan begins next month. Because of that, I wanted something light and small, not a figure or a model kit whose box I will have to bring. So I decided that it is finally time to buy that game.

In July, I was chatting with my friend, GameMaster, about Yu-Gi-Oh. He knew that I like (and only plays) Dragon-types. He also knew how bad my decks were because I place focus on having cool dragons cards in the deck over consistency. So he talked about this one new dragon themed structure deck that was apparently perfect for me and said he might get me one as a late birthday gift. The next weekend, GameMaster showed up at my front door with two sealed copies of the structure deck.
